Protect Your Residential Roofing Business

An open roof exclusion eliminates coverage for water damage if rain enters a home while the roof deck is exposed. We work with carriers that provide proper open roof endorsements or reasonable tarping guidelines so you remain fully protected during weather events.

Roofing involves high elevation hazards, making potential injury claims more severe. We help manage these costs by shopping multiple specialty carriers, utilizing pay-as-you-go payroll plans, and reviewing safety programs to lower rates.

Hot-tar or open-flame applications carry high fire risks and are often excluded under standard policies. If your residential business uses torch-applied membranes, we must secure specific torch-applied endorsements.

Once your policy is bound, our team can issue COIs quickly—often in less than an hour—so you can provide proof of insurance to homeowners, lenders, or municipal building departments.

Only if your policy accounts for sub-contractor costs and you collect active COIs from every subcontractor before work starts. We guide you on proper sub-contractor risk management to avoid unexpected audit bills.

This falls under property damage on your General Liability policy. Minor claims are typically handled swiftly by carrier claims adjusters or settled directly depending on your chosen deductible structure.

Some standard policies restrict coverage to buildings under 3 stories. Most residential roofing operations stay within 1–3 stories, but we verify height limits in writing to ensure full protection on multi-story homes.

Liability usually extends from the towing truck while connected, but physical damage (collision/theft) for the trailer itself requires explicit trailer coverage on your Commercial Auto schedule.
